Abstract
Description
Children have special needs and are treated differently than adults by the court system. In South Carolina, the family court has jurisdiction over children who are charged with criminal offenses and status offenses. Family court delinquency cases differ from adult criminal cases, procedurally and with respect to terminology. These differences, as well as things unique to the juvenile justice system, are addressed in this paper.
